Summary

Hacking the Hiring Process (Part 1)` discusses ways to make hiring more efficient and effective by implementing creative tasks in job postings that assess an applicant's interest, skills, and qualifications. By asking candidates to submit something out of the ordinary, such as critiquing a company website or creating a simple app using Twilio's API, companies can filter out unqualified applicants and identify top talent. This approach not only tests an applicant's ability to read the job description but also their willingness to learn about the company and demonstrate relevant skills. By making these tasks manageable yet challenging, companies can find candidates who are passionate about the role and have the necessary expertise.
